During its annual developers conference held last week, Google I/O, the company revealed its latest effort to drive development of Cardboard VR apps and spur the growth of VR content across YouTube. Google has released blueprints for VR headsets made of cardboard and encouraged third parties to bring their best designs to market. Several are available for purchase with a “Works with Google Cardboard” badge, meaning they’re compatible with Cardboard apps. Users with some arts-and-crafts chops can create their own.
Google Cardboard has already shown potential in building a strong VR foundation through the amount of headsets sold this past year. It's accessibility and affordability makes Google Cardboard available to everyone. Though it may not satisfy enthusiasts, it may offer enough to non-enthusiasts and people who have no VR experience. I am excited to see where VR is headed.
There are many headsets compatible with Google Cardboard. Check out the Powis ViewR at http://powiscustom.com/products/powis-viewr.
